# ENBR – Bergen Flesland

## Overview
Bergen Airport Flesland is the airport of the 2nd biggest city in Norway and covers most of the population in the western side of Norway. The most popular routing is flying over the mountain to Norways main airport at Oslo, but short commuter routes to Stavanger, Bodø, Trondheim, Kristiansand and other cities in Norway are common too. Bergen airport is also serving several European routes to popular vacation routes and important routes to the big hubs in central Europe.

### IFR clearance
Initial contact is with Clearance Delivery, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH. If unable to follow SID, please advise on initial contact.

<div class="callout info">
IFR departures with destination ENZV or ENHD shal use BEGOD as first (and only waypoint) in the route on FPL</div>

### Push-back
Most of the terminal gates require straight-back pushes. However, a few have turn pushes. In the map overview below, you will access all information:

</details>

  If the stand is not mentioned in the maps, ask the ground controller if you're unsure how to excecute the pushback
<br>
<div class="callout info">ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. If it's the case you can expect pushback instructions once the pushback clearance is given.</div>

### Taxi 

Taxi instructions include the full taxi route, however the runway intersection will normally not be specified. Pilots are expected to taxi to the beginning of the runway; A1 (RWY 17) and A9 (RWY 35).

Aircraft with wake turbulence category light can expect taxi to interesection A2 (RWY 17) and A8 (RWY 35) during busy periods, and A4 (RWY 17) and A6 (RWY 35) when traffic permits.

Helicopters on Heli Apron can expect taxi to intersection A5 (RWY 17) and A6 (RWY 35).

Pilots are encouraged to state (preferably when on
TWR frequency):

- Ready (or not ready) for departure, e.g.<br>
READY [FOR DEPARTURE] (or NOT YET READY)
- Acceptable or desired intersection for departure, e.g.<br>ABLE FROM A3 (or A2) (or [REQUIRE] FULL LENGHT)

*Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.*

### Runways
There is a single runway available at ENBR, which is runway 17/35.

Helicopters may land on taxiway Y (parallel to the runway) if there are low traffic levels and good visibility conditions.

<div class="callout warning"> Important note when landed: <br>
Please vacate the runway fully. This means the whole aircraft has crossed the stop bar line. If the aircraft is partly over and not fully, the consequences are that we might have to send aircraft around or delay them as the runway is not free.
</div>

### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.
RNAV SIDs at Bergen have an initial climb altitude of 6000ft. If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure. Omni-directional departures have their own designated SIDs as OMNI3D and OMNI3C. Although it sounds like a normal SID, it's a omni-directional departure. You will find the omni-departure procedures on the chart databases.
It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

<div class="callout info">
    <b>Important note when airborne:</b> <br>
    Flesland automatically hands over departing aircraft after they pass <b>1500 feet</b>. The <b>ATIS</b> will tell you who to contact.
    <ul>
        <li>If ATIS reports "when passing 1500ft contact approach": Refer to your <b>SID chart</b> for the correct Approach frequency (either <b>121.0</b> or <b>126.1</b>). Ignore any frequencies shown in your pilot client.</li>
        <li>If ATIS reports "when passing 1500ft contact Polaris Control frequency 123.456": Contact the provided <b>Polaris Control frequency</b>.</li>
        <li>If ATIS reports "when passing 1500ft monitor advisory 122.8": Switch to advisory frequency 122.8. This means there's no further ATC coverage.</li>
    </ul>
</div>

<div class="callout warning">
    <b>Important Tower Instructions:</b> <br>
    If Tower tells you to <strong>"remain on my frequency,"</strong> stay on the Tower frequency.
    This instruction is usually given when separation from other traffic isn't yet guaranteed. You must remain on Tower frequency until Tower explicitly tells you to contact the next sector.
</div>


### Arrival and STARs
Before or at the initial phase of your descent, you will recessive your clearance for STAR and arrival. The arrivals contain many waypoints and restrictions. We recommend preloading the expected STAR and crosschecking so the correct fixes and restrictions have been loaded before descending. This helps you and the aircraft to plan the optimum descend profile and the start of the desende. Although remember to not start on the STAR unless you have been cleared by the controller.

<div class="callout warning"> Do not descend until cleared by the controller. If you receive the arrival clearance or the STAR clearance, this does not mean you have been cleared for descend.</div><br>

Flesland is using a “Point Merge System”, or PMS. This means that all STARs end up in a “fan” made out of waypoints (RIVIP, GODID, GILVA, NEPAM), in which pilots should always be prepared for a direct routing towards the merge waypoint, 4 in total, in order to ease the workload of approach ATC.

<div class="callout warning"> If traffic situation permits, you might get directs along the STAR or at the terminating/transition point. Be prepared to execute direct routings when instructed to.
 </div><br>
 <div class="callout info">Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.</div>

 ### Approach
 All aircraft can expect ILS W approach, unless it has been instructed to expect another type of approach. If unable to perform the ILS approach, advise the approach controller on initial contact.

The last fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) is followed by a transition to the ILS approach for each runway. ATC often replaces these with vectoring, but always be prepared to fly the transition, and do NOT fly direct from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix. If you have no transitions available, inform ATC and request vectoring.

When you are cleared for the approach via GILVA, NEPAM, GODID or RIVIP transition, you are also cleared to continue the descent as long as the restrictions are followed. Usually, the restriction is 4000 feet or above at the transition point, but we recommend as always looking at your chart for the most precise information.

*Following approach types is available in ENBR:*

| **Runway** | **Approach types**                                                                | 
|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 17         | ILS W, LOC W, RNP Z, RNP (AR) E/N/S/W, VOR Helicopter only: ILS Y, LOC Y, RNP 139 |
| 35         | ILS W, LOC W, RNP Z, RNP (AR) E/N/W, VOR Helicopter only: ILS Y, LOC Y, RNP 043   |  

<div class="callout warning"> Unless other instructions have been given from ATC, it's expected that pilots maintains minimum 160 KT IAS until 4 NM from THR. ATC shall be informed if you are unable to comply with this.</div><r></r>

<div class="callout info">Notes: <br>
1. RNP (AR) approaches are only to be considered to be used at a low-traffic level. RNP Z is available on request.<br>
2. Visual approaches are also available and shall not fly below 2000 feet until established on final. Expect direct to respective points in the visual approach chart when planning for visual approach.</div>

### Direct routings
In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings.

  </tbody>
</table>

### De-Ice
Kjevik Airport has only one de-icing platform, south of taxiway Y. Taxiing to and from the platform requires ATC clearance, even outside the maneuvering area. Pilots should exercise caution when taxiing.

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr><th>Platform</th><th>Restriction</th></tr>
    <tr><td>De-Ice</td><td>One ARC C or D ACFT</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<div class="callout info">The Engine Testing Area shares the same location as the de-icing facility. <br>Business jets may use the stands east of de-ice for parking outside of winter operations.</div>

### IFR clearance
Initial contact is with Kjevik Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

### Push-back
Pushback is straight back from all stands unless the controller specifies otherwise during pushback clearance.

### Taxi
Tower provides taxi instructions. For RWY 03, expect taxi to holdingpoint A. For RWY 21, expect taxi to holdingpoint B with runway backtracking.

<div class="callout warning">Taxiways C and G are limited to ARC B aircraft and daytime operations only due to no taxiway lighting.</div>

### Runways
Runway (03/21) has a runway length of approximately 2000 meters. During runway 03 operation aircrafts will get taxi to holding-point A via Y. During 21 operations you will get instructions to back-track the runway from B. 

### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

All departures have an initial climb to 5000FT.

<div class="callout info">If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure. </div><br>

 <div class="callout warning">It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.
</div>

### STARs
Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

STARs are available from AMSEV, LANTI, OSVAL, RASVI, TIPSO, PEVEB (RWY 03/21)

All STARs terminate at a transition fix. If cleared for an ILS approach, follow the ILS transition route depicted on the ILS charts.

### Approach
ILS, LOC, and RNP approaches are available for both runways. Due to noise abatement, visual approaches must follow the PAPI slope when below 1500ft.

<br>
<div class="callout info">ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. If it's the case you can expect pushback instructions once the pushback clearance is given.</div>
<br>

### Taxi
Taxi instructions at Gardermoen includes the full taxi route, however the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway xx” is stated in your instruction, you are encouraged to call ATC with “C/S, ready via intersection xx ” as you approach this intersection, and it may be approved if traffic permits. Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.

### Holding point assignmemt

On runway 01R, always expect to use full length via B1 or B2, due to noise abatement procedures.

If an intersection has not been specified, you may taxi to full-length, or advice ATC if able to depart from any earlier intersection.

### Runways
Given that you’ve parked according to the paragraph describing the Use of stands, usually the eastern runway (19L/01R) is used for international departures/arrivals, and the western (19R/01L) for domestic departures/arrivals. This however is not a set rule, and runways are organized to accommodate high traffic loads.

The western runway (19R/01L) has a TORA of 3600m, the eastern runway (19L/01R) has a TORA of 2950m. 

During winter operations the airport normally operates with a segregated runway configuration, landing on 01R/19R and departing 01L/19L, due to location of the active de-icing pads.

<div class="callout info">Heavy aircraft may request to use the western runway due to its length, make this request as you request your IFR clearance.</div>

### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.
RNAV SIDs at Gardermoen has an initial climb altitude of 7000ft. If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, climb gradient etc.), state so when requesting clearance and you will recieve an alternative departure instructions depending on assigned runway and aircraft type.

### STARs
Oslo airport Gardermoen is one of the first airports in Europe to use a “Point Merge System”, or PMS. This means that all STARs end up in a “fan” made out of waypoints (study the STAR charts for Gardermoen), in which pilots should always be prepared for a direct routing towards the merge waypoint, 4 in total, in order to ease the workload of approach ATC.

All STARs are valid for both parallel runways, 19L/R or 01L/R. Approach (or Director when online) is to inform you of which runway to expect for landing.

The last fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) is followed by a transition to the ILS approach for each runway. ATC often replace these with vectoring, but always be prepared to fly the transition, and do NOT fly direct from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix. If you have no transitions available, inform ATC and request vectoring.

Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

### Approach
The default approach to Gardermoen is ILS for all runways. All runways are CAT  III equipped. In case of low visibility conditions, only the "right" runway is used for landing (01R or 19R). Curved RNP (AR) approaches are encouraged and may be available on request if traffic permits. (Remember to add `T1` to your FPL below `PBN/`).

Fly at minimum 160 KT IAS to DME 4 GP on ILS approach, 4 NM final for RNP approach, or DME 5 GRM on VOR/DME approach, unless a different speed is instructed by ATC. Advice if unable to follow this restriction.

Visual approach is not approved for jet aircraft and propellor aircraft with MTOW more than 5700 kg.

### Direct routings
In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings.

<div class="callout info">In major events, an own dedicated delivery postition will be online to issue IFR clearences. </div>

### Push-back
All pushback is executed straight back from the stand if it's not specified by the controller on pushback clearance.

### Taxi 
Taxi instructions at Tromsø include the full taxi route, however, the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway XX” is stated in your instruction, you may call ATC with “CALLSIGN, ready via ” as you approach this intersection, and it may be approved if traffic permits. Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.

### Runways 
The runway (18/36) has a runway length of approximately 2400 meters. Medium and heavy aircraft are expected to backtrack on runway 18 for full length. Heavy aircraft may request a backtrack for full length on runway 36.

### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

All departures have an initial climb to FL90.

<div class="callout info">If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure. </div><br>

 <div class="callout warning">It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.
</div>

### STARs
Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC. <br>

STAR is available from LOMVI, KIIKA, DIBDI, AMIMO, GILGU, SJA (NON-RNAV, RWY 18), LURAP (NON-RNAV, RWY 36)

### Holdings & rerouting during event
On major events such as Fly and See Santa, you have to expect holding and reroutings. We kindly ask and expect pilots to know the aircraft they execute rerouting and holdings in the specific aircraft. There are limited published holds. Expect to hold as published if there is a published hold. If not, holding instructions will be given. 

### Approach
Tromsø has an ILS, LOC and RNP approach for both runways. <br>
The glide path is steeper than normal, so make sure to be established on a manageable speed before starting the approach. The Glide path angle is 4 degrees (7%)

### Direct routings
In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct to the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings. Pilots unable to fly direct, should make a comment regarding this in their Flight-Plan Remarks section.

<div class="callout info">ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. If it's the case you can expect pushback instructions once the pushback clearance is given.</div>


### Taxi
Taxi instructions normally contains the full taxi route, however the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway XX” is stated in your instruction, you may call ATC with “CALLSIGN, ready via ” as you approach this intersection, and it may be approved if traffic permits. Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.
 

### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.
RNAV SIDs (including OMNI-departure) has an initial climb altitude of 6000 ft. If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure.
It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

<div class="callout info">W and X procedures have earlier turns, and thus is only available to slower flights with TAS below 300.</div>

### STARs
Trondheim Værnes is using a “Point Merge System”, or PMS for all arrivals. This means that all STARs end up in a “fan” made out of waypoints (study the STAR charts), in which pilots should always be prepared for a direct routing towards the merge waypoint, 4 in total, in order to ease the workload of approach ATC.

The last fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) is followed by a transition to the ILS approach for each runway. ATC often replace these with vectoring, but always be prepared to fly the transition, and do NOT fly direct from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix. If you have no transitions available, inform ATC and request vectoring.
Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC

#### **⚠️Recommended descend restrictions** <br>
All STARs to Trondheim are by standard giving a descend profile, based on flying along the STAR throughout. In almost all situations, a DCT to STAR merge point will be given. Therefore a set of recommended altitudes at given points is added to charts and text pages to guide and give an optimum descend profile to the approach. We highly recommend programming this in FMS/FMC in good time prior to your top of descend and pre-program your expected STAR

##### **Runway 09**
| **Designator** | **Recommended Altitude**   |
|------------|------------------------|
| **MIVSO** xL   | Cross VA414 at 7000 ft |
| **NELSU** xL   | Cross VA414 at 7000 ft |
| **NUPGO** xL   | Cross TUDLU at 7000 ft |
| **VEVOD** xL   | Cross NEDIV at 7000 ft |

##### **Runway 27**
| **Designator** | **Recommended Altitude**   |

| **NUPGO** xL   | Cross ALENU at FL 90 |
| **VEVOD** xL   | Cross ADEXA at FL 90 |

### Approach
The default approach to Værnes is ILS for all runways. RNAV or visual approaches are available on request.

Visual approach is usually flown via MALOV (Runway 09) and TUSMO (Runway 27).

 

### Direct routings
In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings.

### De-Ice
When requesting startup, advise ATC if de-icing is required. This must be given over radio transmission only, not via DCL.
<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr><th>Platform</th><th>Restriction</th></tr>
    <tr><td>TWY P</td><td>Not available for ARC D or E</td></tr>
      <tr><td>TWY Q</td><td>One ARC D or E ACFT</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

When de-icing compleated and ready, contact ATC for taxi clearence.

### IFR clearance
Initial contact is with Sola Ground, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

**Flight level allocations**<br>
Flights from ENZV to ENBR & ENSO are to file **EVEN** flight levels below FL175.
### SIDs
All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

| Type  | Inital climb |
|-------|-----------|
| SID   | 6000 ft | 
| OMNI-SID | 5000 ft |
| SID (CAT H) | 2000 ft | 

### Push-back
Aircraft will be pushed to different disconnection positions (DPSN) based on stand and aircraft type:

- Standard pushback from stand 7-12 and 24 is a "long push and start" which implies straight pushback. Adjacent TWY will be closed for aircraft movement.
- Standard pushback from stand 13-22 is:
  - DPSN 1 (ARC B-C): Straight push and start
  - DPSN 2 ((ARC C-D) includes, but is not limited to A21N, 321, B752/3, MD83.): A "Long push and start" which implies straight pushback. Adjacent TWY will be closed for aircraft movement.
- Standard pushback from stand 7-19 ((ARC D-E) includes, but is not limited to A-332/3/8/9, A342/3/5/6, A359/1, B744/8, B762/3/4, B772/L/3/W, B788/9/J) is a "long push and start to align with TWY L". This implies that ACFT will be pushed to the centerline of TWY L, facing towards TWY R.

*For detailed description, see AD 2 ENZV 2-4: "Push Back Procedures" in the AIP.*

### Taxi
Taxi instructions include the full taxi route however, the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway XX” is stated in your instruction, you may call ATC with;
> CALLSIGN, ready via A1

as you approach this intersection or with the taxi request, and it may be approved if traffic permits. 
Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.


<div class="callout warning">When taxiing to holding point for runway 36, you will need to cross runway. Make sure to cross the runway only if you have been cleared to by ATC</div><br>
<div class="callout info">Intersection departure from runway 10/28 when departing runway 18/36 is available upon request </div><br>

### Runways
**Runway 18/36** is the main runway at Stavanger, Sola (ENZV). It will be used for all fixed-wings departures and arrivals as a favourable runway. If crosswind component exceeds aircraft limits, RWY 10/28 will be used.

**Runway 18**
| Intersection | TORA (m) | 
|--------------|----------|
| TWY G1       | 2539     | 
| TWY A1       | 1830     |

**Runway 36**
| Intersection | TORA (m) |
|--------------|----------|
| TWY E1       | 2435     | 
| RWY 10/28    | 1758     |


**Runway 10/28** is used mainly for helicopter departure and arrivals. If strong crosswinds or low visibility, helicopters will land on RWY 18/36. The runway can also be used for departures and arrivals for fixed wing ACFT for operational reasons (crosswind, maintainainance etc.)

**Runway 10**
| Intersection | TORA (m) |
|--------------|----------|
| TWY D        | 1646     | 
| TWY H        | 1112     |

**Runway 28**
| Intersection | TORA (m) |
|--------------|----------|
| TWY F1       | 2193     | 
| TWY G5       | 1479     |
| TWY H        | 961      | 
| TWY D        | 456      |

<div class="callout info">If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure. </div><br>

 <div class="callout warning">It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.
</div>

### STARs
Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

STARs are available from BEGOD, IDIDI, KUNEM, RIVEX, ROPNO, UNBUD and UPDER for all runways.<br>
Own CAT H STARs are available from EVOLO and UTERU for RWY 10, 18 & 36.
### Approach
Sola has ILS, LOC and RNP approach for both runways. Visual approaches are also available and should not be flown below the ILS glide path or PAPI glide slope.
